Isaiah lived during one of the saddest times in the history of God’s people. He saw God’s judgment unleashed on his cousins to the north - the Northern Kingdom of Israel for their stubborn and consistent unbelief. God sent the powerful nation of Assyria to conquer their land and carry off their people.

Isaiah’s message to people of Jerusalem and Judah was that the same fate was coming their way, too. They had committed many of the same sins and had angered God just the same. Isaiah called the people to repentance and warned them that God would come down in justice against them as well. How sad it must have been for Isaiah to record his God given prediction of the future fall of his beloved city, Jerusalem.

Yet God spoke hope to his people as well - to his people in Isaiah’s day and ours. Isaiah proclaimed the mercy and compassion, the forgiveness and love that God would show to his people in bringing back the remnant from captivity and to all believers in the sending of the Messiah to be our Savior from sin. Indeed, the meaning of Isaiah’s name is true, the LORD is our salvation.

We are hoping that you will join us in reading one chapter of the book of Isaiah each weekday and then in listening in on our discussion of each chapter.
